Eleanor Roosevelt: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

With realities such as the glass ceiling and gender inequality continuing to plague women across the globe, many are left feeling as if their personal and professional success is but a distant dream. But as one incredibly successful woman, Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

Eleanor, U.S. First lady and wife of former president Franklin D. Roosevelt, became the voice of women everywhere. After the death of her husband, she continued on to become one of the most outspoken women worldwide, serving in the United Nations and addressing women’s issues and promoting human rights.
